Per-Hop Reversed Packet Auctions for Cooperative Routing in Mobile Wireless Networks by Lucas S. Brito, Marcelo M. Carvalho

“…Previous works on the subject have either tackled cooperation in the relay of messages alone or in both routing and relay functionalities. In the latter case, path selection is usually carried out at the destination node, which renders significant delays because the selected path needs to be conveyed all the way back to the source node before any data packet can be transmitted. …”
